摘要
Familial hypercholesterolaemia is caused by a functional mutation that impairs LDL receptor-mediated uptake of the LDL particle, therefore resulting in higher LDL cholesterol in the bloodstream.67 Most of those affected (85-90%) have a mutation in the LDL receptor gene.68 Familial hypercholesterolaemia can be classified as heterozygous or homozygous depending on the presence of one or two affected gene alleles.9 However, the heterozygous form is common, whereas the homozygous form is very rare. © Published by the BMJ Publishing Group Limited.
